COMMON GROUND rethinks space and ownership in Berlin, renegotiating collective decision-making in the face of crises. In an expropriated Berlin, where the conditions of use are decoupled from ownership—and thus from capital, power, and discriminatory exclusion—there is the chance to resiliently face and overcome crises equitably.
The installation leverages the synergistic potential of data-driven simulation and visual narration to delve into the complexities of crises related to urban housing and displacement. In this way, the transformative possibilities of communal ownership and collective action are revealed.
